This painting holds incredible sentimental value as it was created by an elephant as a gift on the day our client's daughter was born. In the process of moving here as our new elephant keeper to the Sedgwick County Zoo here in Wichita, the piece was accidentally damaged.
Because it was originally made with washable, nontoxic paint, restoring it required a very delicate, thoughtful approach. We brought Steve Murillo from
Steve Murillo Studio & Gallery who handled the project with extraordinary care and skill.
We're thrilled with the final result.
Steve's work has helped restore both the spirit of the original creation and the deep emotional connection our client's family has with it.
